Niechorze ( German Horst or - officially until 1945 - Horst-Seebad ) is a fishing village and seaside resort in the Polish West Pomeranian Voivodeship .
Geographical location
Niechorze is located on the Baltic coast between the sea and Lake Eiersberg ( Liwia Łuża in Polish ) in Western Pomerania . Neighboring towns are the villages of Rewal ( German Rewahl ) in the southwest, Pogorzelica ( German Fischerkaten ) in the northeast and Lędzin ( German Lensin ) in the south. In the south, the two villages Groß- and Klein-Horst border on vast meadows, in the west and east on pine forests and in the south-east on the two-kilometer-long, partly covered, Eiersberger See. The Eiersberger See has an outflow into the Baltic Sea, which was called Liebelose and over which a road bridge leads towards the Fischerkaten.
history
Horst used to belong to a bailiwick. The place became known in the 15th century because a group of citizens of Greifswald and Stralsund had captured a hunting party of Duke Erich II in connection with a legal dispute . The contemporary Mayor of Greifswald, Heinrich Rubenow, wrote a report in verse about the scandal .
Horst originally consisted of the two villages Groß-Horst and Klein-Horst , which belonged to the cathedral chapter of Cammin. In 1784, Groß-Horst was a farming village with eight half-farmers , three cottagers and a schoolmaster and had 14 fireplaces. In addition to agriculture, there was fishing in Lake Eiersberg ( Liwia Łuża ). At the same time, Klein-Horst was a fishing village with 22 fishermen's cottages, a schoolmaster and 23 campfire sites.
The two villages were merged in the 1930s to form the seaside resort with the official name Horst-Seebad . The town owes its suitability as a seaside resort not least to high clay banks , which protect it from westerly winds.
Between the two world wars, mainly Berlin citizens had holiday homes built in the neighboring village of Pogorzelica ( German fishermen's hut), which can be reached via the Liebelose Bridge.
Towards the end of the Second World War , Horst-Seebad was occupied by the Red Army in the spring of 1945 . After the end of the war, the place was placed under Polish administration and was renamed after the expulsion of the German residents and was given the Polish name Niechorze . He belongs to the rural community of Rewal.

Niechorze's structure as a fishing village was preserved. From the 1990s onwards, numerous hotels and holiday complexes were built, so that a holiday area was created that is about five to eight times the size of the old village.
Infrastructure and surroundings
Niechorze has an infrastructure with several hotels, guest houses, guest rooms in private houses and a camping site. There is a fishing museum on the eastern edge of the village. There is a modern sports field with artificial turf, a park with a few rides and the introduced 2009 bike sharing system "Rewal Bike System".
In the east of the village, the high steep bank that stretches from Dziwnówek ( German Klein-Dievenow ) along the Baltic Sea coast stops completely and turns into normal dune formation.
traffic
The village is about 2 kilometers north of the Wojewodschaftsstraße 102, which leads from Świnoujście ( Swinoujscie ) to Trzebiatów ( Treptow ad Rega ). The Greifenberger Kleinbahn of the city of Greifenberg ran from 1896 to 1905 as a narrow-gauge railway with a 750 mm gauge, since then with a 1000 mm gauge along the southern edge of the village. This is where the railway station, renovated with EU funds in 2011, is located on the route that is only used in museum operations.

Niechorze lighthouse
The landmark of Niechorze is the 45 meter high lighthouse built on the highest point of the steep wooded bank . Its construction, which cost a total of 56,600 thalers , was decided by ministerial decree of May 15, 1863, and it was put into operation on December 1, 1866. It is protected from underwashing by hydraulic protection devices. A steep staircase with 200 steps leads to his lantern (flashing light). From his gallery the visibility is around 50 kilometers in average visibility conditions. When visibility is particularly good, the Danish island of Bornholm, 85 kilometers away, can be seen on the horizon in the Baltic Sea .
